Here in our studio at Arrowsmith Shoes all of us have our little cubicles packed full of stuff.  I have discovered over the past years that my “stuff” gets moved back and forth from home to here, everyday.  My laptop, my white papers on technology and the latest software and techniques are crammed into a small slot and look like hell because I bring them back and forth in a dingy nylon cheap brief case shoulder bag.  I never liked it but I carry it because it was a nice gift at the time.  I’m sure all of you have had a similar situation. 

My cell phone looks like a bent up beer can from being dropped so many times because there’s an outside pocket to slip it into and the thought was to have it handy to prevent digging around inside the bag if the phone rings.  Good in theory, not in practice. I also carry 3×5 note cards with me all the time for ideas that I write down and my note cards are all over the place. There’s no place for them inside the bag.

When I saw the Arrowsmith Shoes got a  new supply of brief cases from Los Altos I went and looked at them and place my name on the list to get this one.  Everything I need was inside this beautiful brief case.  There’s also a strap to carry it like a shoulder bag.  Yes it’s a little more than I wanted to spend but wow!  It looks and feels like you’re important.  I normally wear nice jeans a great shirt and comfortable shoes and the first thing I thought was that this bag may be too much for me.  I’m kind of a techno geek and almost not worthy of this kind of brief case but I’m going to splurge and ask if I can make installments.
